Sounds like a good one Never been played and 20 years of crap... dare I ask what the crap was? Not the usual finger-gunk, I assume.

But I wouldn't use it as an argument to buy [i]this[/i] used bass, personally, given the OP's discussion so far.

Nice work! Wasn't that keen on E's A Giza but I didn't dislike any of them, and as usual I'm astonished by how well-constructed they are. Evidently mellowing in my old age...

^this. Exactly this.

[quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1503855306' post='3361195'] Fits nicely into the pocket. Only the screw holes in the neck heel were slightly misaligned so had to fill them and drill new ones. [/quote] Cool. Thank you. Time for some plotting...

Yeah, I can't see it either.

[quote name='prowla' timestamp='1503852457' post='3361181'] I think it's about time for a full stop. [/quote] Sorry, that's just a pipe dream |

This thread makes me smile. I'm not yet at the point of laughing asteriskally though.

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1503782829' post='3360919'] Oh that's good. You rule -- [/quote] Score!

[quote name='discreet' timestamp='1503749282' post='3360680'] I'm "quoting" you on that. [/quote] Are you, indeed? I guess that's the question, Mark.

I'm not seeing the point of this conversation .

Tasty! Love the colour

[quote name='Tweedledum' timestamp='1503487871' post='3358600'] Sounds good! (Looks good, too.) Here's my HB-50 mod: <pic> I stripped the body and sprayed it gold and installed a Harley Benton lefty Jazz Bass neck to get closer to a Dusty Hill kind of vibe. I like the Wilkinson pickup. It sounds pretty good actually. [/quote] How well did the HB Jneck fit the pocket? Decently, I'm guessing.

I don't mind that, personally. I do think there's not much point, because nobody more than five yards away can see anything except smudgy blue.

^This.

Couldn't honestly blame him if he did, really I haven't enough knowledge of electronics to guess what the fault actually is, unless it's decayed winding insulation in the pot of the offending pickup.
